Standard transitions vs. flush thresholds: pick before you quote

A standard install uses a low-profile transition strip at each doorway. It's the most common Baltimore-area option, works with almost any subfloor, and installs in 1–3 days.

A flush, zero-threshold install has no strip at all, one material runs from room to room at a consistent height. Cleaner-looking and easier to navigate with a walker or wheelchair, but it requires leveling the subfloor across rooms so height differences disappear, which means more carpentry and more cost. Older Baltimore rowhomes and pre-war singles especially need a subfloor inspection before going flush on a second floor.
